Why HSTA believes in professional development

Hawaii State Teachers Association teachers are deeply committed to every student’s success.  We want all students to achieve their full potential as individuals and become productive citizens who make positive contributions to society.

We believe that educators provide the stable, nurturing, inspiring environment that makes it possible to teach each student and provide individual attention to each student’s learning needs.  To this end, we work to ensure that every student has a qualified, caring educator.

We believe that we must change the way educators are recruited, trained, evaluated, supported, and held accountable.  We believe we must raise the bar for what it means to be a quality educator by focusing on preparing new educators for the classroom, attracting and retaining educators, providing continuous, high quality professional development for all educators, and promoting effective teachers and quality educators.

We believe that HSTA is one key to achieving these core areas of professional excellence.  Through expanding your learning opportunities, you will ensure that all students in Hawaii’s public schools have the benefit of qualified, caring, committed educators throughout their school years.

The Benefits of HSTA Professional Development

As an HSTA member, your course deposits are automatically reimbursed on any PD course you complete, excluding National Board courses. You will be asked to pay a $150 deposit when you sign up for a course. HSTA IPD reimburses this deposit as long as funds are available in our budget. 

Reimbursement is automatic (while funds are available); nothing needs to be done by the member. Once the course has ended (based on the course end date, not the date portfolios are submitted) and your instructor provides the HSTA IPD Department with proof of completion, your deposit will be returned to you as a check. Reimbursements can take six to eight weeks to process after the close of a course. It may take longer if you take an incomplete and extend your time. Make sure your current mailing address through HSTA Membership is up to date so your refund is not delayed.

No new courses as HIDOE updates PD system


The Hawaiʻi State Department of Education is updating its web-based professional development software system. No new courses will be offered until this transition is complete. Any courses projected for June 2024 and beyond need to wait until the new system is ready.

If you haven’t done so already, check your PDE3 transcript and download Form 200-005PD for your reclassification records.

The department anticipates new courses will be available for the fall, but no dates have been confirmed. Please stay tuned; once we learn more information, we will be sure to share these updates with you.
